Low-Carb
cocoa hazelnut spread
Yield: 460g / 13 servings
Serving: 2 tb. / 35g
​
​​
150g powdered erythritol OR xylitol
1/2 ts. salt
1/2 ts. vanilla
10g natural cocoa powder
(optional) 5g full-fat milk powder
80g neutral fat: cold-pressed palm oil / cold-pressed coconut oil / ghee (you could use butter, but it would make the nutella no longer shelf-stable)
200g smooth hazelnut butter (unsweetened, click here for a DIY recipe)
(optional) 1/4 ts. xanthan gum (as a stabilizer)
​
​
In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the hazelnut butter until it is very warm but not too hot to touch (this makes it easier to mix), then pour it into a food processor or high-power blender.
Using the pulse setting, slowly incorporate the powdered dry ingredients into the warm hazelnut butter , mixing until fully combined.
Add the vanilla, mix, then add the oil/butter a little at a time until fully incorporated.
Finally, let the machine grind/process the "nutella" for 30 seconds or up to a minute to make it extra-smooth.
Pour your low-carb "nutella" into a glass container with a lid and store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. (It will last longer in the fridge, about 1 month)
Notes: The nutella will thicken up as it cools, so don't be worried if it seems very liquidy when you're mixing it
